The Republic of Ireland have drawn familiar foes Denmark and Wales in today's inaugural UEFA Nations League Draw.

Martin O'Neill, armed with a two-year contract extension with the FAI, will have a chance to enact some revenge on the Danes after a World Cup play-off hammering last November that left him considering his future.

It will be a similar feeling for Wales, who Ireland memorably beat in Cardiff last year to dump them out of the World Cup reckoning.

The Boys in Green will play their two opponents home and away and the full Nations League fixtures will be published at 3.30pm.

Northern Ireland, who the Republic could have drawn, are in a group with Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Austria.

Gareth Southgate's England team will take on Croatia and Spain in a tough league A group.
